forthwith become due and payable. Should it be necessary to record the

retention of title otherwise require the cooperation of the Customer,
Customer will give its approval for registration of the retention of
title, and unconditionally authorizes Measurement Solutions or its legal
representatives to effect the registration, and Customer agrees to
undertake the necessary cooperative action.

otherwise breaches the Contract. Software may only be used on the computer

not maintained, as well any applicable reinstatement fees, in accordance
with Measurement Solutions's then-current policies. Any updates, service
packs, or new releases to the Software made available to Customer under
Software Maintenance will be subject to terms and conditions of the
